These all look wonderful, but my favorite is Artful Blogging. I’d love to win a copy and see if its something I should subscribe too (along with the two jewelry mags of yours I already subscribe to). I have a blog set up but need help getting and keeping it going? Thanks for the chance!

The “Remnants of Past Projects: Pillows from Scraps” in Somerset Home really spoke to me (actually, I was inspired by all the pages you shared). I could do that project this afternoon with the multitude of scraps I’ve accumulated – and I just may!

I love all these issues, but the angels spoke to me. I have thought about making a Santos doll and would love to be inspired by the stirrings of autumn! Witches and ghost remind me of my childhood Halloween haunts-I would love to visit the past again~

GreenCraft does have a fond place in my heart! I already have this issue~

This was a really tough decision! We should be allowed one comment for each magazine hahaha! I think my favorite is Artful blogging and my favorite picture is on page 7, I believe. I love digital work and that’s what the 3 pictures look like. But I like them as pictures to print and frame and hang on the wall! I love your magazines!

I adore the scrap pillows in Somerset Home! It’s one of my must-have magazines. I have to say the denim rug is very appealing as well; a few years ago I made a denim bed cover from old jeans and we love how sturdy it is (and washable)!

I would love to win this copy of Green Craft. I recycle like crazy and have the boxes of stuff and stuffed closet of “Ooh, I bet I can make something with this.” I have saved lots of Altoid tins and fell in love with the hens and chicken planter (when I plant hens and chickens outside, the critters eat them) I also hold onto unusual bottles and bits of lace; until I saw your spread, it hadn’t occurred to me to use them together! Finding two ideas just from the index makes me can’t wait to see what else is inside.

I can’t decide between Greencraft and Stuffed. I love the denim rug in Greencraft and the tattooed girl in the bathing suit in Stuffed is awesome. I would truly LOVE to make her~ Thank you for these amazing publications.

I’ve been so inspired by Artful Blogging in the past but have missed the last few issues. I love doing my blog, but it can use a shakeup, and the new issue of Artful Blogging would definitely offer that, along with a refreshed perspective!

I love all your magazines, but of the ones pictured, I would love to have “Where Women Create”! I love the inspiration and back stories of the artists & one of these days I would like to have my studio organized like one of theirs! I’m unemployed right now, but I have faith that I will get there! Thanks!!

WHERE WOMEN CREATE is always such a source of inspiration for me! The photography captures more than my eye takes in on first perusal, so then I am delighted to reread it all over again to take in every last tidbit I possibly can! HMMMM…HAPPY HAPPY!
Joyfully…..~Sandie

I love Art Doll Quarterly. Page 6 has My Recipe for Success, but what stopped me were the dolls shown on the page. They are magnificent, I would love them even if it wasn’t halloween. I can not get enough of this magazine.

All of your publications are yummy! I would like to get to know Green Craft better though. :o) The image that grabbed my attention the most, was that of Yankee Tins. Very cool looking, and I just happen to have taken one out of my car today and thought…”what could I do with this?”!! Thanks for all of the inspiration over the years.

It’s always tough to just pick one of your beautiful, inspiring publications! But this round I must go for Somerset Home. Anything that announces Furniture Redo on the cover gets my attention! And the pillows created from scraps……gorgeous!

Please bring back the magnifying glass, at least on the Table of Contents page on your issue introductions. I like to read the names of the articles and artists, there are so many artisans I follow, and knowing their work is featured in an issue is a definite teaser to purchase for me.

I have been working on creating my own blog….not quite there yet. I was unaware of Artful Blogging, it certainly appears inspirational. I think perhaps it may be the certain something I need to see my very own come to fruition in a more timely way.

I love all your magazines, but especially Somerset Home, because it got me thinking, about things I can make with things I already have on hand…..:) and I really enjoy other people’s ideas. I hope I win a free one. thanks in advance!

Came to fingerless gloves on Green Craft site and thought “I’m not the only one who uses my old socks to keep my hands warm in winter. Just never thought to embellish so nicely. Time to wear out a few more Pairs of socks so I can make them into more beautiful fingerless gloves!

“Where Women Create!”, the cover caught my eye. It looks like a trailer is being used as an arts/craft room. I have my own art room and I’m always looking for new ideas for it. I’d love to win this month’s issue of that magazine.

I love all of your publications, so, yes, it’s a very hard choice indeed. I turned 65 this year, moved to a new home, and finally have my own office to work on my photography and crafts — but it’s pretty much a white box with a desk and bookcases awaiting some inspiration and organization! My four enterprising granddaughters always end up in my office with me and “Where Women Create” always offers ideas and solutions for creative, welcoming spaces for everyone. So that’s my publication of choice!

I want to win, let see….., all of them but I loved WWC, I have the one that was just released but the Green one looks great! If I win, I like that one or AB, or Scrapbooking. I have so many of your magazines. These are not magazines but works of art, books, they are just more than anything simple and easy to leaf through, they get your mind racing. I already know what I am making everyone for Christmas!!!

I am taken with the Doll Quarterly pictures. The Angels and their wings…with their searching faces looking up…what are they looking for?…chances are what we’re all looking for… and the detail and embellishments in their skirts…one has a bird..seemingly content to be there..yes, the dolls have spoken to me…I too search the sky as these angel dolls are doing in this picture! Thanks for sharing!

Essence of Creation in the Art Doll Quarterly is my favorite, loving the idea of artistically hiding your thoughts and ideas in the cage of the doll, a lot of symbolism and artistic strength in these dolls.
